filmscanners: VueScan and SS4000--second question

2001-07-09 Thread Stan Schwartz

Many thanks to those of you who answered my questions about white pixel
clipping.

One more VueScan/SprintScan4000 question;

The last two versions of VueScan are loading extremely slowly and also
closing down slowly. It's taking about 20-30 seconds from clicking the icon
to having the initial VueScan screen appear. It takes the program around 15
seconds to close down now.

I haven't changed my hardware configuration and Polaroid's Insight scanning
software loads and exits normally.

Anyone else notice this?

That's a question for Ed - yes, it seems a little slower (I haven't timed it
myself) but I don't mind at all.

Something odd must be happening there Stan. VS 7.1.4 loads here in about 4secs on a 
freshly booted computer, and closes in about 1sec. Using W98, Canon FS2710.

This happened once to me with a different model SCSI-attached scanner.  Problem was 
somehow in OS or HW communication with the scanner.  When Viescan does finish loading 
does it show the SS4000 scanner in the scan-from menu in the device tab window or does 
it show (scan from) disk?  Does the problem not occur if you load an earlier Vuescan 
version?

less than 2 seconds and closes instantly .

Once the program loads, the opening screen looks normal and the SS4000 shows
up. In the past, I have seen the program delay opening when it can't find
the scanner. However, that isn't the problem here.

Now I have to make the decision whether to spend a bunch of time tinkering
to figure out why loading is slow--or just live with it for now.
